Hang onto your seats folks. This might be the most startling development so far in regards to Iran and our future involvement with them. The leader of Iran in no uncertain terms painted anyone other than Islamists a target.
***Iran´s new president declares worldwide ´Islamic revolution´***
SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM Thursday, June 30, 2005
Iran´s president-elect has proclaimed an Islamic revolution of global proportionos.
Mahmood Ahmadinejad said his election coincided with what he termed a new Islamic revolution.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The wave of the Islamic revolution will soon reach the entire world," Ahmadinejad said. "In one night, the martyrs strode down a path of 100 years." Ahmadinejad, who did not elaborate, was speaking to the families of those killed in a 1981 attack at the headquarters of the Islamic Republic Party, Middle East Newsline reported.
The Teheran mayor has served as a senior commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, responsible for the nation´s missile and nuclear weapons programs, and has been identified as a suspect in the killing of Kurdish dissidents in Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The 49-year-old Ahmadinejad, who participated in the takeover of the U.S. embassy in Teheran, in 1979, was regarded as the most anti-Western of the presidential candidates. On June 24, he defeated Hashemi Rafsanjani, a former president who headed the Expediency Council, the regime´s watchdog over what had been a reformist-dominated parliament.
